How to paint your home : things to think of by the one who pays the bill : containing plates showing desirable color combinations.
A trade pamphlet from 1900 published in Detroit by the Acme White Lead and Color Works, meant for homeowners choosing exterior paint. Its plates are panels of three line-drawn houses each, with a color-combination suggestion printed beneath. The pictures show Victorian and Queen Anne style houses in pen-and-ink with flat watercolor washes, a useful reference for designers working on period house palettes and architectural line drawings.
